Latest Knits

If knitting was considered exercise, I would be an Iron Woman. 

I have been furiously knitting for the farm store.

My arms ache, my shoulders and elbows are creaking but I am so happy.

If needles are in my hand, new yarn by my side, I'm a happy girl.

Thought I would share some of my latest quick knits off my needles.

I have been knitting mostly small projects....quick to knit, easy to sell, you get the drift....

I knitted this Capucine Hat with my mom's handspun yarn. 

(that's the awesome skein I'm holding above)

The purple/brown yarn is a mix of our alpaca, Melody and merino.

I am still Fair Isle obsessed.

This hat is all alpaca. I added a fun tassel at the top.

 I just wing the design but I do use 200 Fair Isle Motifs for reference.

 

A slouch hat in white alpaca. Made for a custom order. I'm happy with how it came out.

A simple ear warmer. This style has been selling well this year!

As for reading, I am STILL reading The Forgotten Garden.

Shame on me. I really love it, but I can't read and knit at the same time.

I'll have to start listening to them like my sister does. It might be the only way I can finish a book these days. 

I just bought this for myself. It's a grown-up coloring book.

Yes, I said coloring book.

As a kid, I loved things like this. In an effort to keep my creative juices flowing,

I have been trying to sketch every day. I thought this would be fun too.

During down time between jobs and projects, a page here or there....I know...I'm weird.

I just ordered some new yarn to make a baby blanket for Lizzie's new baby boy that is on the way.

Don't you love getting yarn in the mail?!!!

Happy Knitting and Reading!
